✅ What Is R-454B Refrigerant?

R-454B is part of the new generation of A2L refrigerants, designed to reduce the environmental impact of HVAC systems. It replaces R-410A, which has a high Global Warming Potential (GWP) and is being phased out across the U.S. as part of the EPA’s AIM Act.

Compared to R-410A, R-454B offers:

  • 78% lower GWP

  • Improved energy efficiency

  • A longer-term solution aligned with future regulations

Manufacturers will no longer produce equipment using R-410A, making R-454B the new standard for residential heating and cooling systems.

🔄 Why Upgrade Now Instead of Waiting?

1. Avoid Supply Shortages

As manufacturers pivot to R-454B equipment, many popular models are already on backorder. If you wait too long, you may be forced to settle for limited options — or face delays of weeks or even months during peak seasons.

2. Beat the Price Increases

As demand for R-454B units and certified installation grows, so do the costs. Plus, R-410A refrigerant prices are rising due to limited supply and environmental fees. Locking in your system upgrade now means you’ll avoid future price spikes and take advantage of current promotions or rebates while they last.

3. Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

R-454B is designed to be better for the planet. By upgrading now, you’ll:

  • Lower your home's environmental impact

  • Boost your energy efficiency

  • Stay ahead of future regulations and compliance standards

Being proactive helps protect both your wallet and the environment.

🔧 Are There Installation Requirements for R-454B Systems?

Yes — R-454B is mildly flammable (classified A2L), which means your HVAC contractor must be trained and certified to safely install and service it.
